Chapter 251, Frozen
At this moment, I finally understood why the gargoyle spirit didn't react when they came in, and I was stared at by them all the time.
Because the gargoyles themselves are of the same kind as them, and I, in this place, am an outlier.
It's like mixing a wolf in a pack of wolves, which is not so conspicuous, but when it mixes in a sheep like me, it will be extremely abrupt.
That's why I feel like I've been staring at these statues.
Even though these are just wax figures, the vivid, lifelike feeling makes me feel a little creepy.
Just as I was hesitating to leave, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a secret door behind the grimacing statue of the Buddha.
I wasn't sure, so I stepped forward to study it carefully, and sure enough, it was a secret door.
This secret door is very hidden, hidden behind the statue of the ghost-faced Buddha, and you can't see any clues without looking closely.
If there is a secret door, it means that there is a hole inside.
Maybe it's the way to the depths of the ancient temple, maybe it's some treasure hidden.
Although I was curious, I didn't rush up and began to look near the secret door.
Soon I found out that the mechanism of the secret door was the demon-slaying pestle in the hand of the Buddha's ghost-faced statue.
The pestle seemed to be able to turn, but instead of risking my own life, I commanded the gargoyle to go up and check it.
If there is really something abnormal, there will be it for me.
Although the gargoyle spirit was unwilling, it could not withstand my threat, so it could only climb to the altar honestly.
Then, under my command, he began to turn the pestle.
Sure enough, as I expected, as soon as the demon pestle turned, the secret door behind the ghostly face statue of the Buddha suddenly slid to one side with a "click".
After the demon pestle was turned, the secret door had been completely opened, and a rectangular doorway with a width of one meter and a height of about two meters appeared behind the statue.
This secret door is quite spacious, but when viewed from the front, it is just obscured by the statue of the Buddha with a grimace.
However, from my point of view, I can see that there is a staircase leading to the underground under the secret door.
It's just that it's too dark inside to see where the end of the stairs is, or where it leads.
When the secret door opened, I was thinking about continuing to let the gargoyle inside, but then I suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The originally eerie atmosphere around suddenly became extremely eerie.
I looked around and was shocked to see that the idols who had been staring at me were glaring at me angrily.
Their appearance and expression have all changed, becoming more terrifying, more hideous, and they want to devour me alive and break my corpse into thousands of pieces.
"Click...... Click......"
With a slight sound, I clearly saw that the eyes on the wax figure began to move!
Their eyes were rolling, and a crack appeared in the corner of their eye.
If before they were just lifeless wax figures, now they are completely alive.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but change my face.
Although these wax figures don't know what they can do, they can be worshiped by incense, and they are naturally not ordinary spirits.
To say the least, it's one level higher than the gargoyle.
I almost suffered a big loss when I faced the gargoyle spirits before, and now that I face these more powerful beings, it is naturally even more difficult to deal with.
The most important thing is that we are not provoking the anger of one wax figure, but more than a dozen wax figures, which is equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest.
"Click...... Click......"
The subtle sound continued, and after the wax figure's eyes rolled, the crow's feet cracked in the corners of the eyes even more severely, and they had spread to the face.
Soon, it became a dense patch, like a spider's web.
Looking at this posture, it won't be long before they break out of their shells.
I'm not stupid, let them come out so smoothly, wouldn't I have lost my head?
Rather than this, simply do nothing.
With a fierce heart, I took out the * and stabbed the wax figure with the grimace of the Buddha.
My powerful knife slashed directly at the wax figure's neck.
It's just a wax figure, and it's naturally not as stiff as a stone statue.
I cut off most of its neck with this knife, and only a little bit was still stuck to it.
I was angry, and after drawing the knife, I stabbed the original part again.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for two knives to accurately slash at the same position at the same time, but after the physical potential is stimulated, there is a period of training with Song Qian.
Under the terrifying learning ability, my control over my body and my strength has reached the point of perfection.
Two slashes in the same place, at the same point, are nothing to me.
Without any accident, under my two stabs, the neck of the grimace Buddha wax figure was directly cut off, and the head also flew in response, and after a bounce on the wall, it fell directly to the ground.
Finally, with a "snap", it fell to pieces.
I can't see that head, and it doesn't feel so scary.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I drew a scoop with a gourd, and in the same way, cut off all the heads of the rest of the wax figures.
At that moment, I was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
"Die!"
Before I could turn around, I reflexively slashed at it.
With a "bang", I felt that my * had slashed something hard, and when I looked back, I realized that I had actually slashed at the neck of the stone spirit with a knife.
Fortunately, its body was a stone, very stiff, and I cut it off, and there was only an inch-deep wound on its neck, and a few stone chips fell.
But it was frightened by my reaction, and stood there stunned, with its hands still on my shoulders.
"I warn you, don't pat me on the shoulder if it's okay, I'll start a fire, and even dare to cut myself!"
With one hand, I pulled out the knife stuck in its neck.
The gargoyle immediately took a few steps backwards, keeping a safe distance from me.
After that, he pointed to me on the ground.
Only then did I realize that the wax heads that I had cut off their necks and shattered into pieces had begun to reorganize little by little at this moment.
After a while, the heads were back to their original state.
These severed heads, instead of returning to their own necks, began to piece together and pile up on each other.
Soon, these dozen heads were put together into a human form.
There are hands, feet, and bodies, but these hands and feet are all made up of heads.
And in this monster body made of heads, it is the head of the hideous and terrifying grimace.
This monster made of wax heads, much taller than me, gives people an inexplicable sense of oppression when it stands there.
The most important thing is that those eyes are staring at me deadly, and they will turn from time to time.
I've seen a lot of monsters, but I've never seen anything so strange.
It's all heads, what the hell is it? How do you attack it? Bite people with your mouth?
Before I could think about it, the monster had already given the answer.
I saw a grimace with a big head and a big mouth, and a huge suction force came out of the mouth full of fangs.
For a moment, I felt as if something was holding me down, and my body moved uncontrollably in the direction of the monster.
I tried to struggle, but I found that the suction was so strong that even my skin muscles began to bulge.
For a time, the temple was even more windy.
Seeing that my body was about to be overwhelmed, I was so frightened that I quickly grabbed the body of a wax figure.
At this moment, the rest of the heads, which were regarded as bodies, also moved.
I saw that they had a big mouth, and two long scarlet tongues shot out, like ropes, and wrapped around my legs.
These two long tongues are so tough that I can't shake them off for a while.
I saw that as soon as the long tongue was forced, my legs immediately hung in the air, and the whole person was parallel to the ground, forming a 'one' word, if I hadn't grabbed the wax figure next to me to borrow strength, I was afraid that it would have been swept over.
Seeing that I was still struggling, the rest of my heads were also big mouths.
But this time instead of sucking, they sprayed.
As several of their heads opened their mouths, they erupted with a large blast of cold air.
With the sound of the howling wind, the cold air went straight to the bone marrow, and I shivered all over.
I always thought that my physical fitness was already very good, and I was basically not afraid of the cold.
However, now I realize that I am not afraid of the cold, but I have not encountered any colder.
And right now, the cold air that erupts from the mouths of these wax figures can make me feel the biting cold.
The cold was getting bigger and bigger, and my body was starting to stiffen.
I could clearly see that my feet, which were first exposed to the cold, had begun to freeze, and the ice on my feet was gradually spreading to my body.
At this level, within a few minutes, I would be an iceman.
In this case, I didn't even have a place to run, my body was already suspended in the air, and I had nowhere to borrow strength, and my hands that grabbed the wax figure to stabilize my body were basically just dying.
I really didn't expect that even if these wax figures were not completely resurrected, just a few severed heads, they would be so powerful.
As soon as I made a move, I didn't even have room to resist, so I was completely restricted.
While I was struggling to support myself, the stone spirit walked to the side step by step as if nothing happened.
It tilted its head, clasped its hands to its chest, and stared at me like that, seemingly gloating.
The cold breath from the heads of these wax figures naturally had no effect on it, and their main target was me, plus the gargoyles, who were in some ways the same kind as themselves.
As a result, the gargoyle was not threatened in any way.
"Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and help!"
Seeing that the stone spirit was motionless, I couldn't help but squeeze out a sentence from between my teeth.
If it weren't for the stiffness of my muscles, I would have struggled to speak, and I would have scolded him.
As if dissatisfied with my attitude, the gargoyle flicked its head and turned to leave.
"Wait!wait!"
I hurriedly squeezed out a stiff smile: "Everyone knows each other, you can't see death without help, right?" I had a bad attitude before, I promise, I will definitely change it in the future, I will definitely change!"
As soon as he heard this, the gargoyle immediately stopped.
But it didn't turn around, thinking that my conditions didn't impress it yet.
I gritted my teeth and continued to speak: "I know that you must have some purpose in entering the ancient temple, or that there are things you want in the ancient temple, I promise, as long as you help me, I will definitely help you when the time comes!"
Hearing this, the gargoyle finally turned around.
I had already thought before that with the urine nature of the stone statue spirit, it could enter the ancient temple regardless of the risk of its soul being scattered, and there was naturally a reason for it.
The reason why it followed me with a dead face was naturally because of this.
Not to mention anything else, without me helping it cover the eyes of the door god and the stone lion, it wouldn't even be able to enter the first door.
It is because of these factors that the gargoyle spirit was willing to be cannon fodder for me before.
And I, because I understand this, will point fingers at it, because I know very well that it has asked me, and without my help, it is afraid that it will not be able to move an inch in this ancient temple.
But now, the situation has reversed somewhat.
I needed it so badly that I had to get my attitude right and redefine the status of both sides.
It needs my help, and I need it to save my life, and both sides are already in the same boat. 】
Seeing that the gargoyle spirit was already excited, I began to strike while the iron was hot: "Come and help! I can't support it anymore, I swear, I will definitely help you, if you don't do it again, I will die!"
As I spoke, the frost had spread to my chest.
From the neck down, I had lost any sensation, as if I was paralyzed, and only my head could move a little.
As for my hands, they have already been frozen into popsicles, let alone force, even if I want to let go.
